Yet technical change and the need for new skills make it important for them to engage in learning to…

Pownall, Madeleine; Blundell-Birtill, Pam; Coats, Rachel O.; Harris, Richard – Psychology Teaching Review, 2021
In the UK, psychology degrees are designed to equip students with skills such as critical thinking, research methods, and analytical debate.

Therefore, one would expect…

Paltoglou, Aspasia E.; Morys-Carter, Wakefield L.; Davies, Emma L. – Psychology Learning and Teaching, 2019
Psychology students often feel anxious about learning statistics, which can impact their performance.

We aimed to explore whether modifying an existing measure of statistics anxiety…

The most common of these is traditional, academic focussed, 'A' levels, but increasingly students are taking alternative qualifications (e.g. BTECs, IB, Pre-U). The focus of this research is to infer which (if any) of these qualifications are…

The Self-Efficacy for Musical Learning questionnaire was adapted and tested with 404 primary school children, producing a robust Cronbach alpha (0.87) and confirming a single underlying factor through exploratory factor analysis. Test-retest scores showed the measure's stability over a 9-month period. Data were collected on children's prior music…

Luyten, Hans; Tymms, Peter; Jones, Paul – School Effectiveness and School Improvement, 2009
The research findings presented in this paper illustrate how the "value added" of schooling can be assessed empirically using cross-sectional data. Application of the regression-discontinuity approach within a multilevel framework produces both an estimate of the absolute effect of 1 year schooling and an estimate of the variation across…
